  Quote of the Week This post: Only Scale, from Dubious Quality (who I’ve been reading for a decade or more): Morality is never rewarded in this country, only scale. Just think about that for a moment. Is doing the right thing ever even discussed? Not really. How often do you see a CEO get rewarded for taking a moral...

  This morning I connected to my cross country flight to Virginia via LAX. I saw the dawn. I saw places that mean a lot to me. There’s my apartment! On the hill behind it was where my high school once stood, now replaced by condos. There’s Mission Bay where I’ve swum and kayaked and not-successfully windsurfed and jet ski’d. Beyond: Navy housing we lived in when I was a teenager. Had I been on the left side of the plane I’d have seen my favorite spot: Mission Beach Jetty. But take a beat on my right is former favorite swim spot La Jolla Cove. Shores. Del Mar. Solana Beach where I worked at failed dot com EduPoint. Orange County. Los Angeles County. Beaches, apartments; jobs and job interviews; car accidents, fights, train rides, romance and catastrophe. Southern California is my home; imbued with meaning. Onward.

  Weather and professional responsibilities kept me out of the water for four days. Back this morning. Terrific.

  Quote of the Day, on Martin Luther King from Tony Pierce mlk makes me think you can do everything you can and it still wont change some people. which is a good thing to realize quickly. that way you dont waste your time doing things to change people. instead you should do things because theyre awesome, and maybe youre the best person to...

  I took this in 2019, breezing by on a bike around the Tidal Basin in DC. Dr. King was mostly hated in his lifetime. Think about how pretty we talk about people once they get killed and try to change that. Beware of people quoting MLK without the context of how much he was hated. Changing society takes work. Justice is hard. War is wrong. Poverty is wrong. Race discrimination is wrong. Education must be free to all. We must have equal opportunity. We must change the structure of our society. We can do it.

  I fought my way past the breakers. Big current today, one day post Tonga. Part of any physical hobby is knowing when to stop. Life is so rich.
